You enjoy solving complex systems problems and building reliable infrastructure. You approach troubleshooting using data and systematic analysis and look for opportunities to simplify operations through automation. You can work effectively both independently and collaboratively, communicate technical information clearly, and partner with colleagues across functions, regions, and time zones. You are comfortable seeking input when decisions affect broader platform architecture or other teams., Candidates are not expected to have experience with every technology listed below. Relevant skills may be developed through professional experience, education, training, or other technical pathways.

• Experience supporting Linux systems, HPC infrastructure, cloud platforms, GPU infrastructure, or distributed computing environments.
• Experience deploying, configuring, supporting, or operating HPC or GPU clusters.
• Linux administration and troubleshooting experience across operating systems, networking, storage, and system performance.
• Experience with Slurm, Kubernetes, or comparable workload scheduling and orchestration platforms.
• Experience supporting GPU drivers, containerized GPU workloads, or accelerator software stacks. Familiarity with AMD Instinct GPUs, ROCm, RCCL, or comparable technologies is beneficial.
• Familiarity with distributed computing concepts such as MPI, collective communication, and multi-node training.
• Experience working with high-speed Ethernet, InfiniBand, or comparable cluster networking technologies.
• Familiarity with RDMA and RoCEv2 concepts, including queue pairs, priority flow control (PFC), explicit congestion notification (ECN), and their relationship to fabric performance.
• Familiarity with leaf-spine topologies, fabric oversubscription, ECMP, and the impact of network latency, bandwidth, and congestion on distributed workloads.
• Experience troubleshooting or supporting high-speed cluster interconnects such as RoCEv2 or InfiniBand.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes networking technologies for GPU workloads, including CNI plugins, SR-IOV, or RDMA device plugins, is beneficial.
• Experience with shared or parallel storage technologies such as NFS, Lustre, BeeGFS, IBM Storage Scale, Weka, or comparable technologies.
• Experience using Python, Bash, or comparable scripting languages for infrastructure automation.
• Familiarity with configuration management and infrastructure-as-code technologies such as Ansible, SaltStack, Terraform, or comparable tools.
• Experience with Git-based workflows and monitoring or observability technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, or comparable platforms.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure such as OCI, Microsoft Azure, AWS, specialized GPU cloud providers, or comparable environments.
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies such as KVM is beneficial.
• Familiarity with AI frameworks and inference technologies such as PyTorch, vLLM, SGLang, or comparable technologies is beneficial.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues, organize competing priorities, communicate technical information clearly, and collaborate across engineering and operations teams., * Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or a related field or an equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.
